the 727 must seat 131 passengers
fly nonstop from Miami to New York City and land on Runway 4-22 at La Guardia (this runway was chosen for its length, less than a mile which was too short for any of the existing passenger jets)
With this concrete goal, Boeing effectively coordinate the actions of thousand of experts in various aspects of engineering or manufacturing.

if the gap is an "abyss" then fill it in just enough
point out the gap
4. Then help them repair and refine their original schema

makes you want an answer
makes you care
create a gap

mystery
"how will the story turn out?"
"was I right?"
we must first open a gap before closing it with an answer
psychologist Donald Redelman
